Abstract

V originále

Kinesio Tape (KT), recognized for its elasticity, enables unrestricted movement and is claimed to offer various physiological benefits, including possible improvements in postural stability through proprioceptive activation via mechanoreceptor stimulation. This study aimed to assess the acute effect of KT application on static postural stability in healthy individuals. Forty participants (16 male, 24 female) were randomly allocated to either the KT group (n=20) or control group (n=20). Using a FootWork Pro portable baropodometry platform, measurements were taken in three positions (bipedal, monopedal-left, monopedal-right) pre- and post-tape application. Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in the KT group during bipedal and monopedal-left standing for center of pressure, frontal, and sagittal planes (P<0.05). Conversely, no significant differences were observed in the control group (P>0.05) or for monopedal-right standing in the KT group (P>0.05). These findings suggest that KT application may enhance static postural stability, particularly during bipedal standing. However, this study focused solely on acute effects, highlighting the need for investigations into long-term effects or duration of observed benefits.
